An elegant apartment in a Grade II* Listed Georgian mansion in a mature parkland setting surrounded by farmland<br/><br/> A first floor apartment in a converted Georgian country house. Ramridge House, which is Grade II* listed, was originally built in the style of Robert Adam in 1779 and extended again in 1855. It was extensively modernised and refurbished in 1986, when it was converted into nine luxury apartments, carefully restored by craftsmen to retain much of the original charm and period features. <br/> <br/>The accommodation of this spacious apartment includes a reception hall and inner hall, a spacious drawing room with Adam style fireplace and dining area with a bay of three large windows enjoying views of the gardens and parkland, a kitchen, master bedroom with en suite shower room, second bedroom and bathroom. There is also a garage in a block and communal landscaped gardens of approximately two acres surrounding the property.<br/><br/>Ramridge House is in a parkland setting, approximately one mile from Weyhill. The property is famous for its fair which was held annually on Old Michaelmas Day (10 October). The fair was the largest and one of the most celebrated in England, lasting a week. It was in fact the coming together of a number of fairs, the largest being the Sheep Fair, and it is believed that as many as 500,000 sheep were on the hill in just one fair. The Horse Fair was renowned for the Irish Hunters sold there, and for the Hopgrowers this was the greatest event of the year.<br/><br/>The village offers everyday facilities include a Post Office (now situated in the garden centre nearby), church and shop/garage. The A303 is close at hand providing excellent road access to London and the West Country. London is 75 miles and Andover, with its mainline railway station, is just 3 miles away. The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are both within approximately 20 miles, as is Basingstoke. The South Coast is approximately one hour distant.
